A fact from John L. Stevens appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 January 2009, and was viewed approximately 1,238 times (
disclaimer) (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
DoneThe article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary.
Excellently referenced!
DoneThe article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies.
DoneThe article has a defined structure.
Logically organized and straight forward structure.
DoneContent should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind.
DoneThe article is reasonably well-written.
DoneThe prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously.
My only complaint is that the lead paragraph feels a little awkward... but that is easy to fix.
DoneThe article contains supporting materials where appropriate
There are three photographs that support the text.
DoneThe article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way
For example: "Committee of Safety, led by Lorrin A. Thurston and Sanford B. Dole" conflicts with sources that say the committee was led by
Henry E. Cooper. Probably confusing events of 1887 and the annexation with the overthow itself. It needs either much work or should be downgraded to level C in my opinion.

This piece was edited quite a bit by another editor since I last looked in on it. I'll try to check some of what was added (and subtracted) when I return from a break.
